'Like a Swiss ski slope:' Uncertainty clouds battered Sasol's investment outlook

The new CEO of Sasol, Simon Baloyi, has been in the hot seat for only one month, but it has already been a bit of a rollercoaster ride.

News of reprieve of certain emissions standards related to sulphur dioxide from Sasol operations bolstered the company share price earlier in April.

But a subsequent production update reporting continued operational issues at Sasol coal mines, affecting synthetic fuels production, provoked a seemingly outsized negative response, and the share has fallen more than 12% in the past month.
